We just got word that a segment "60 Minutes" shot back in the spring is going to air this Sunday (CBS, 8 pm ET).The 60 Minutes segment is titled “The Age Wave.” According to CBS’s website, “Workers over the age of 55 will almost double – from 18 million in 2000 to more than 33 million by 2025. Morley Safer finds some people already in this wave, between the ages of 81 and 102, who just can’t retire.” They interviewed Frieda Foertsch, 92, our greenhouse manager (or "plant manager" for you punsters) about why she has no plans to retire. Frieda has worked here more than 45 years! Hope you can tune in! Paula

Wow, *plant manager*....Paula, 'Moosh stands no chance against the REAL *queen of puns*....you could even say that Frieda has "deep roots" at Holiday World...:)

On a side note to the "older worker" phenomenon, I remember back a few years when Knott's was just a smidgen below HW in terms of friendliness, etc. It was clearly the cleanest and friendliest "chain park" I had ever visited. They've gotten a LOT younger, and things have deteriorated. Maybe I'm becoming an *age-ist* in my later years...;)

Thanks for pointing that out, Bill. It's also William Albert Koch III's birthday. Will's wife, Lori, had such big babies that they decided to induce labor a tad early for baby #3...and it worked out that they could do it on Mr. Koch's birthday.

Oops....do we need to "stick" to the topic? Man, you're going to get me in trouble. (Can you find the pun in that last sentence? It stinks.)
